Requesting your opinions

[The_ToFu]

Hi Everyone!

I would like your opinions regarding my weapon choice for a sword ww barb...

I will mostly be doing PvM but occasionally drifting into PvP (if provoked hehe :) )

ok..
Weapon 1:
Rare tusk sword (atm)
359% ed
20% ias
1-200ish light dmg..
100ish AR

Weapon 2:
Grandfather with a shael

now, i haven't got the Gf yet, but i can get it with the um rune i have...
would it be better to use the um rune to upgrade the tusk sword, considering it does a little less damage than the gf but hits the last ww bp? Or would it be better just to buy the gf?

I wish i could get a decent oath though :( but my funds are a little low atm.. and the huge range in ED is too much of a risk

What would you guys do?

Thanks for your opinions in advance..

tusk sword for sure

Aye, I think once upgraded, your tusk sword would be pretty cool. It would have really nice 1h/2h damage as a Balrog Blade, and if you put either an ias jewel or shael in it, it would hit the last whirlwind breakpoint, something the GF could never manage.

That is unless you could get an absolutely killer GF that had the maximum % ed. Then it might be a bit closer of a race.

I have to agree I would prefer that rare upgrade over the gf.

thanks for your opinions guys...
now i have to dig up a fal rune for the upgrade hehe

but what if i add a non-eth death cleaver to the competition? would the rare still beat it? hmmmz... 66% DS, last ww bp...same range... but less raw damage... : /

Edit: But the durability on the DC annoys me ALOT hehe.. i tried one on a zealot and i had to go to town every 5 mins to repair it.. it became an issue so i sold it and got a stormlash instead :)

does the durability go down really quick with ww too??

Non eth death cleaver beats it.
